Texting is the same. I personally like OS 6 better. The new browser makes web browsing on OS 6 so much better. The OS is easier to navigate, universal search makes finding emails or anything on the web easier. When I upgraded my device from OS 5 to 6 I even noticed that my device ran more smoothly. I would have to disagree with penguin and say that OS 6 is better.Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile
